The Moonster Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Something new for both teams. I know nothing about Sauchie other than the fact they are mid-table in the East of Scotland league and they have a fan called Wallace who evidently has some trouble reading... Looking forward to it. I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 There aren't too many Sauchie/Sons links (Martin Mooney is one mind you @The Moonster) but I had a really good chat with Darren Petrie, who some of you might remember from a loan spell with us under Ian Murray years ago. His story is a really sad one after he was forced to retire at 23. But with the way he speaks about the game and his attitude I reckon he'd be an asset to any team in a coaching role. It's here if you're wanting a read 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I can only see a Dumbarton win. Prediction: 2-1 Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Its a shame that we don't do something similar to German football - the lower placed team getting the home tie. Part of the interest in drawing a pyramid team is in going to an away ground that you wouldn't normally get to travel to. £12 entry is very reasonable. Would be good to get a healthy crowd along, particularly people who maybe aren't regulars but fancy seeing what a home game at Dumbarton is like. It would also be great if the clubs could agree a shared number of free kids tickets to try and encourage young fans along. Could give Sauchie 100 free kids tickets and make 100 available to local Dunbartonshire school kids.

Vegetableman Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 looks like a clacks double for you lot most likely but a potential banana skin still not going to our tie at £18 quid but apparently i am not a real fan now Alan Hansen played for these guys and is from sauchie ( trivia time ) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 ^^ The last time I saw Sauchie they had George Connelly playing for them. She probably wouldn't have heard of him either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamhain Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Both the Hansen brothers played for Sauchie and later for Scotland. Can remember seeing George Connolly play there in the early 80's along with Frankie Cole who was superb at Alloa before emigrating to Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I noticed on my fb memories this morning that it was five years ago today since our away game against Bonnyrigg Rose in case any Sons fans are thinking (although I don't think there will be tbh) this might be a straightforward win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons Fan Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Looking forward to today. Always nice to play a team that you haven’t played before/for a long time. Hopefully it won’t be a repeat of Bonnie Rose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
